Apple's premium speaker has been one of the devices of the American company that perhaps has gone unnoticed among all that there are. Not that the HomePod was sold badly, but surely he has not reached the sales that were expected of him.
One of the reasons may be due to the proliferation of smart speakers like Amazon Echo or Google's, and people have preferred innovation to buying a speaker for almost € 300. But this may change this year 2020.
A HomePod with less technology inside but cheaper
Two years ago, Apple's HomePod was released. A very smart speaker with spectacular sound. Its 7 speakers called tweeters have to serve something and the ability to adapt the sound that comes out of them to the room and place where the device is placed.
But one of the things that have put users back, has been the price and although this has decreased since its inception, is still "expensive, just to listen to music." Siri has not been able to adapt to these new times where the speakers of other companies have achieved the adjective of intelligent.
To be able to enter the market again, Rumors suggest that Apple will launch a new HomePod model with just two tweeters this year and logically at a much lower price. But we do not believe that the price is lowered so much as to compete with the speakers of other companies and if we think about it, they are completely different products and have a very different purpose.
If in the end these rumors come true, it will be good news for users who even wish to have a HomePod in their home the price forces them to look for other models from other companies that have more experience in the audio market. We will remain attentive to any news that may occur and we will tell you about it.
